I have downloaded the 13.5.0.0 version of the driver (just the driver) and I have downloaded the complete package (including the ProSet software) but whenever I check the driver version after the download it just shows me that I have version 13.4.0.139.

How do I update correctly?

(When I used the complete package it put everything in to ~\Program Files\Intel\Driver\... but then again those new files were from last year.)

thank you for your response but I don't think it is the update mechanism itself. I have a feeling I just get old files off the Intel website. The dates of the files point to last year in Program Files/Intel/Driver/... and the update actually works perfectly (=without an error message). So a restore point won't help.

I am having the same issue. The latest 3945ABG download seems to have the 13.4.0.139 drivers, not the 13.5.0.I tried downloading both the drivers only and full install. After running full install, the C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\Drivers folder has the 13.4.0.139 drivers.

I have uninstalled all previous versions, deleted the intel folder and still same issue.

After you install the Intel Pro Wireless 14.3.0 utility software it gives you a error message that the Software utility version 14.3.0.0 does not support the 3945ABG Network Connection driver version 13.4.0.139 and suggests to update the 13.4.0.139 driver to a supported version?

If the 13.4.0.139 driver is the latest version for 3945ABG adapter, why isn't it compatable with the latest Proset/Wireless WIFi Connection utility software version 14.3.0.0?

I am also facing some issues with 3945ABG Network adapter.I bought my HP Pavellion Laptop 4 years back (Which came with Vista YUK).. which I had to upgrade to Windows 7 by shelling Re 5000, and till then I am strugling to get the drivers for my laptop; Some how managed to run all the components on my laptop. HP site even does not support Windows 7 for my laptop (Great!!!).

Recently I was trying to create "Virtual WiFi", Nice looking feature if Windows 7 (Where you can convert your laptop to a virtual hotspot and share the internet,with other devices) but found this adapter does not support that feature. Now I have to spend some more money to get a wifi router.

Even I am wondering why even invest in PC and Laptop now, I can very well sell my Laptop and get a nice smart phone, which will eventually serve a wifi hotspot ( wondering if this feature can implimented so easily in mobiles, whats a great deal in implementing this in Laptops).

Come on Intel, Please care for your existing customer and dont make us feel useless and helpless, as we dont have any other way to get the support for our existing systems if manufactires itsself is stopping the support of the drivers and devices sold just 4 years back :-(

Hope you will include the virtual wifi. hotspot feature and support for other issues mentioned above.
